Ryde St John's Road railway station serves the town of Ryde on the Isle of Wight, England. The station is 2 km (1¼ miles) south of Ryde Pier Head on the Island Line.

Adjacent to the station is the Island Line train depot. Since 1989 all the signalling for the line has been centralised in the signal box at the station.

It has been suggested that the Isle of Wight Steam Railway might be extended from Smallbrook Junction to here in the future, but there are currently no official proposals.

[edit] Services

Monday to Saturday daytimes there is a 20 minute service northbound to Ryde Pier Head and southbound to Shanklin and generally two trains per hour evenings and Sundays.
